Cosmological Polemics in Against Eunomius II, 72–76 of Gregory of Nyssa. With Whom Does Gregory Argue?
Scrinium: Journal of Patrology and Critical Hagiography. 2021. Vol. 17. P. 335–348.

I analyze the polemically charged exposition of classical cosmologies by Gregory of Nyssa in Against Eunomius II, 72–76, and identify probable sources for this passage and the targets of Gregory’s criticism of classical cosmologies, manifested in this passage. In Against Eunomius II, 73–75, Gregory presents the Aristotelian cosmology and polemicizes with it. My analysis shows three avenues of Gregory’s criticism of the Aristotelian cosmology, which are manifested in this passage. As my analysis of Against Eunomius II, 76 shows, in this passage, Gregory summarizes and criticizes the Stoic natural-philosophical and cosmological doctrine that there is the limitless void beyond the limits of the cosmos, in which cosmos moves (probably by expanding and contracting). I identify two points in Gregory’s criticism of this doctrine. Finally, I suggest that the immediate Gregory’s source regarding this Stoic doctrine was a treatise of Cleomedes.

The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET) is a widely used tool for assessing affective mentalization in both clinical and research contexts. Although translated into many languages, no validated Russian-language version has been available. Furthermore, the limited number of stimuli in the original RMET constrains its applicability in neuroimaging studies. This study presents ...

Previous EEG studies demonstrated ample evidence for a major influence of morphological regularity on inflectional processing. However, regularity effects may be attributed to different properties of inflectional classes: to type frequency, to productivity, or to defaultness (assumed only in some models). In many languages, these factors cannot be teased apart, but it is possible in ...

This Handbook examines relations between Japan and Korea from 1850 to the present.
Analyzing almost 200 years of Japan and Korea relations uncovers a relationship that has been both congenial and confrontational. This Handbook examines these relations in this age of modernity by dividing it into four periods: precolonial relations (1850–1905); colonial rule (1905–1945); post-war/post-liberation (1945–1965); ...

In his main works, René Descartes, in addition to such an impressive metaphysical construction, over and over again gives promises of happiness, which must certainly accompany the study of philosophy according to a new model. What exactly is this happiness and is the Cartesian construction capable of fulfilling this promise? For whom can it come? ...

Among the Roman pontiffs who proclaimed crusades against the Turks, Pius II (1458-1464) stands out for having publicly declared his intention to go to war and backed it up with concrete actions. His death in Ancona, from where he was about to set sail for the East, can be perceived as a feat of faith ...

In Aristotle's definition of tragedy in Poetics, where catharsis suddenly appears without any preparation, every word, preposition, and semantics of the case are commented on with such attention and detail as, perhaps, only the expressions, cases, and letters of the Holy Scriptures. In 1975, A. F. Losev estimated the number of interpretations of catharsis by ...

Substances, according to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716), always act; furthermore, since even finite, created substances are naturally indestructible and thus immortal, substances continue to act forever. To what or to whom do substances causally owe their action? In Leibniz’s day, this question more or less becomes a question about the causal role of God. Is ...
